Josh Williams
Special guest
As a 15+ year dental tech I have moved my way up from being a plaster monkey working the model room at Top Quality Partials Lab all the way up to managing a large production SLM print Partial lab. I did many things along the way including all steps in the partial making process as well as creating multiple partial departments in labs. I even started my own lab by converting an old bait shop into a removables lab. This all led me to where I am now which of course is being interviewed on the worlds greatest podcast- Voices From The Bench.
Josh Williams has been a guest on 3 episodes.

Live from LMT Lab Day Chicago, Elvis and Barb capture three conversations that highlight the future of the lab industry. From Savannah and Josh’s fast-moving digital removable workflows at GPS Digital RPD, to Darin McCue’s blunt reminder that labs need strong leadership—not just great technicians and how Saleslift Consulting can help—and finally Vicki and Carrie’s push to empower smaller labs through smarter partnerships and buying power with Savvy Lab Solutions, every discussion points to the same truth: adapting isn’t optional.
